Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a systemic disorder associated with cardiovascular complications. However, there are few reports on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease-associated aortic dissection. Herein, we present a rare case of a 46-year-old man with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who underwent endovascular repair for acute type B aortic dissection three years after his initial open surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. The postoperative course was uneventful, and he is doing well two years after the endovascular repair. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for occurrence of aortic dissection in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, including the possibility of recurrence.
